The RAN curse is when a horse has Raise A Native in the dam's sire line. It's ok to have RAN in the sire's sire line, but NOT the dam's. The curse was broken last year when Barbaro won the derby... it's just a dumb angle that seems to be correct most of the time (probably coincidence.)

I should also mention that this only applies to the Kentucky Derby.

Great Hunter's sire Aptitude was a very talented distance runner on the track. Frankel did not get it right with him until Aptitude was older.

The curse was broken. Thus no curse.

Please let's not go through this again this year. It is dead after last year, and really never was on solid foundation to begin with. Now that the coincidental trend has been broken, expect several more.

The Fappiano line of Mr Prospector is probably the soundest of the Mr Prospectors.
